Public Class Axis 

C#

public class Axis 

Remarks

The content of the Axis element varies depending on the value of the AxisFormat XMLA property used by the Execute method.

TupleFormat
When a client application sets the AxisFormat property to TupleFormat, an axis is represented as a set of tuples. Each Axis element contains a Tuples element that represents the set of tuples on that axis. Each tuple is represented by using a Tuple element that contains Member elements from every hierarchy on the axis.

ClusterFormat
When a client application sets the AxisFormat property to ClusterFormat, the members on each axis are divided into clusters in which each cluster represents a cross-product between ordered sets of members from each hierarchy. Each Axis element consists of one or more CrossProduct elements. Every CrossProduct element contains a Members element for each hierarchy on the axis.

CustomFormat
When a client application sets the AxisFormat property to CustomFormat, the value is treated the same as the TupleFormat value by an Analysis Services instance.
